W ith the release of Prodigal Son
(winner of BBC Radio 2 Folk Award’s album of the year 2008)
Martin Simpson created a contemporary classic that
effortlessly crossed musical boundaries and exhibited what
many had known for years – here is one of this
generation’s most talented songwriters, singers and
guitarists. Here on this special DVD Martin, takes us on a 2
hour live journey through that album, expanding and
reinterpreting as only he can – and throws in a few more
tunes for good measure.
This professionally shot concert film has superb 5.1 sound and
looks and sounds great highlighting his virtuoso playing and
also the quality of his collaborative work when he is joined
by Andy Cutting on Diatonic Accordion, Andy Seward on double
bass and Kelly While on backing vocals. The evening is topped
off by a stunning version of the song of the Year "Never
Any Good".
As an added bonus, there is a unique short film made by Martin
called "You Can Go Home" retracing the steps of his
youth under the shadows of the blast furnaces in his native
Scunthorpe. It is both a revealing and, at times, highly
humorous backwards glance.
